I don't own Waterloo Road

Mels week away finished, it was no surprise to anyone except Eddie that Mel didn't come back. Aimee and Philip were distraught, and it saddned Rachel to see them like this. Aimee had been getting close to Earl again, everyone knew where she went everynight, and Rachel was at her wits end, she tried to convince her to stay home, but the more she did, the more determined Aimee was to see Earl.

Rachel woke the first morning after half term, she shut her alarm off and got up, she could hear someone already up, she opened the door and seen Aimee walking along the hall, she was dressed, but not in her school clothes or her pyjamas, but a short skirt and fancy top. "Where have you been?" Rachel asked her niece, Aimee spun round, she was hoping she could have got in before her Aunt woke up, she managed to sneak out after Rachel had went to bed. "I'm waiting for an answer Aimee?" she added. "I just went for a walk" Aimee quickly said. Rachel knew this was not true, and Aimee knew she had been rumbled. "What in those shoes" Rachel pointed to Aimee's high heels "You've been with Earl, haven't you" Rachel added. "Yes, but I'm nearly 16, I'm old enough to go out when I want" Aimee said. "Aimee, whilst you are staying here, you will follow my rules, and one of them is a 8pm curfew and in bed for 9 on a school night, now go and get ready for school."

Aimee was annoyed, why did her Aunt always need to get in her way, she loved Earl, why couldn't they see that. Aimee went into her room, she had to get ready for school, but she was shattered, she and Earl had been up all night, she still hadn't slept with him, although he had tried it on, and he really wanted sex, Aimee was scared to do it.

Rachel woke the other kids who were both annoyed to be woken too early after being accustomed to sleeping late during the holidays.

Finally all 4 of them were in Rachel's Mazda driving to Waterloo Road. Rachel parked up, just as Eddie drove in on his own, he had quickly gotten used to driving to school with Mel and the kids, but today was his first time alone. The kids got out the car and headed into the building after acknowledging Eddie with a nod. "How are they?" Eddie asked. "Their still devastated, I hoped Mel would be back by now" Rachel said, "Not to mention Aimee and her sneaking out to see Earl at night". "Your kidding" Eddie said, "I just don't know what she sees in him" Eddie added.

Rachel and Eddie walked to the school entrance, where they seen some graffiti, on the walls, it was still wet. "Great, that's all we need" Rachel said. They walked into the school, and found Security Dave confiscating paint from Stephen McIntyrer one of the year 9s.

"Ahh, Miss Mason" he said, "I found this in this young mans bad" he handed her the paint canister. "Young man, lets go to my office".

Rachel called Stephens father, it was the first time she had met him, but she recognised him from somewhere. She could tell that he remembered her too,

When he was leaving the class he addressed her as Ms Fenshaw, and Rachel realised that her secret was about to be exposed.

I found this on my computer, I wrote it when I was stuck in the house with Swine Flu 3 months ago. So if its rubbish, its because I was ill when I wrote it.
